Excerpt from Notes and Queries<br/><br/>It is easy to see how the trouble arose. It is the old story of the sculptor and the lion. If the lion had executed the sculpture, he might have represented the lion as conquering the man. The nomenclature came from Germany, and hence not only was German used to mean a language, but High German designates one group, Low German another next, Teutonic was given as the name of a whole branch, much as if an Englishman were to call the branch Anglic. N or did the forced nomenclature stop here, but the attempt was made to use Germanic as the name of a sub-class, making 'germany to include nearly all Europe, and then indo-germanic became the name of the complete family of languages Happily, the last term has hardly found favour, and thus a last source of confusion has been set aside. Much as we are indebted to the Germans, I think this nomen clature has seriously misled a great number of Englishmen. It would have been better if some more vague term, such as Gothic, could have been »used for the name of the branch.
